A Comparison of the Resilience, Anxiety, and Life Satisfaction of Chinese Left-Behind Children and International Students

The present study compared the resilience level, anxiety level, and life satisfaction level of Chinese left-behind children (LBC) and international students (IS) between 11 and 15 years old and investigated the relationships between these three variables and physical activity (PA). Chinese LBC (n = 86) from Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China and Chinese IS (n = 60) in Vancouver, Canada filled out a survey that measured their resilience level, anxiety level, life satisfaction level, the duration and frequency of PA of different types and intensities in various domains, PA Enjoyment, and participants’ attitudes toward PA. In addition, 10 participants were randomly chosen to participate in an interview after completing the survey. The survey results showed that IS possessed higher resilience level and life satisfaction level than LBC, and both groups had no significant difference in anxiety level; LBC engaged in more PA than IS. Besides, resilience level was positively related to the amount of light PA in household or yard work domain as well as PA enjoyment; anxiety level was negatively related to PA enjoyment as well as annual household income; life satisfaction was positively related to the total amount of PA across all domains as well as PA enjoyment. Participants also mentioned in the interviews the effectiveness of PA in distracting them from worries and other negative emotions, which in turn helped reduce their anxiety and improve their resilience and life satisfaction. Therefore, participating in more PA could be a promising way to improve resilience level and life satisfaction level or reduce anxiety level for the two groups.

University quality, British league tables and student stakeholders

Quality of universities is best viewed through the eyes of stakeholders. Yet, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, rankings conducted by various agencies purport to provide one overall measure of university quality. This article re-examines some of the data used by university rankers. In so doing, it shows that their information can be repackaged in a way that makes it more relevant to student stakeholders when choosing where to study. Moreover, cluster analysis reveals that there is no qualitative hierarchy of British institutions. Instead, universities fall into two main groups. One is characterised by high value-added in learning. The other is defined by research. In both groups the level of student satisfaction is comparable. These divisions between groups of universities parallel social distinctions in British society. Should prospective students be provided with such information, they would better be able to judge the quality of universities in which they might enroll.

A Comparative Study of Student Satisfaction Levels on Online Learning Using K-NN and Naïve Bayes

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia led to restrictions on human social activities to minimize transmission. Teaching-learning is also affected when students must stay home and follow distance learning based on Government Regulation Number 21 of 2020, the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy, issued on March 31, 2020. This has led to the emergence of learning support applications such as Zoom, Google Classroom, Google Meet, E-Learning, and many more. However, this new learning culture requires adaptation for effective implementation. During the adaptation process, researchers want to measure the level of student satisfaction and find out the best algorithm for classifying the level of student satisfaction. This measurement uses two data mining algorithms, K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) and Naïve Bayes, and the Islamic State University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau students as the research object. Different algorithms have varying strengths and weaknesses in handling specific data types and classification tasks. By comparing both algorithms, we can assess their generalization capabilities. A model that performs well on training data but fails to generalize to unseen data may not be as effective as a more robust algorithm that exhibits better generalization performance. K-NN classification with a value of k = 3 gets good results. Based on the study results, the conclusion is that K-NN is more optimal in classifying student satisfaction levels than Naïve Bayes with an accuracy ratio of 85% : 80%, precision of 85% : 84%, and recall of 99% : 93%.

The Impact of Student Response Systems (SRS) on Student Achievements: A University-Scale Study with Deep Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

The integration of Student Response Systems (SRSs) into classroom teaching is a pioneering progression in social sciences research that has shown potential in boosting student engagement and elevating academic success. However, no extensive study has examined the impact of its use on academic achievement within a sizable number of students of diverse cofactors, such as scientific discipline and study levels. The current study aims to conduct a comprehensive score analysis investigating the effect of SRS use on academic performance. It involved a total of 6047 male and female undergraduate students from four scientific disciplines, seven colleges, four campuses, and 13 courses covering all study levels within King Saud University. The student’s scores along with their attributes were anonymously collected from the university system. A voluntary anonymous survey was distributed to collect students’ perceptions of SRS along with their personal attributes, such as learning style, and class interaction preferences. Upon data collection, the Python programming language was exclusively implemented for comprehensive data analysis including grouping, validation, random sampling, visualization, and statistical analysis. The overall score analysis study showed a non-significant effect of SRS use on student scores compared to the control (non-SRS) group, while the survey findings proved a significant enhancement of students’ scores (in courses that utilized SRS) compared to their overall GPA. In addition, the differential score and survey analysis within various study subcategories showed significant positive effects in certain subcategories, particularly science and community colleges, and four of their representative courses. SRS showed higher levels of overall student satisfaction (average—4.4/5.0), yet it was also significantly influenced by scientific discipline, preferred interaction methods, and study levels. Overall, SRS provides a highly engaging tool with excellent student acceptance and potential academic performance enhancement.

Student Readiness on the Blended Learning Modalities of the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy: An Assessment

This mixed-method research aimed to assess student readiness on the use of blended learning modalities at the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy. It examined the level of readiness towards self-directed learning, online student engagement, and the level of student satisfaction among the midshipmen to assess the effectiveness of these lesson delivery blends.
 1CL, 3CL, and 4CL midshipmen officially enrolled in the 1st Semester of the School Year 2022-2023 were surveyed online to establish their demographic profile, their level of readiness in terms of self-directed learning and online student engagement readiness, and their level of student satisfaction. A semi-formal interview asked the faculty about their preferred blend or combination of modalities. The SPSS was utilized to analyze the results.
 When grouped according to year level, 4CL Midshipmen demonstrated lower Self-Directed Learning Readiness and Online Student Engagement than the senior cadets. When grouped according to program, BS Marine Transportation midshipmen were more self-directed and satisfied than the BS Marine Engineering midshipmen. Faculty favored the face-to-face and online asynchronous blend.
 Gleaning on the results of the study, an assessment tool (PMMA Blended Modalities Readiness Survey for Incoming 4CL Midshipmen) was proposed to address the identified challenges. The recommendations also included the incorporation of the proposed assessment tool into the Quality Operations Manual to serve as guidelines in the implementation of blended learning modalities. A competence assessment between colleges, strengthened collaboration between the IT department and the colleges, midshipmen digital literacy training, and faculty training on digital tools for online learning facilitation were also recommended.
